Choosing to apply to be an MMICC ambassador stemmed from my closest friends having an incredible experience with the competition. Those who had been an ambassador or on exec had only one descriptive word about participating in the competition: family. Although we have endless opportunities to get involved at McGill, MMICC is one of the rare organizations where a community is created both internally and worldwide, and that was something I really wanted to be apart of.

What was the most memorable part of your MMICC experience?

Besides being exposed to some of the brightest minds from the best schools in the world, the most memorable part of my experience with MMICC was watching my team present their final solution. Seeing their ideas come to fruition after they put so much thought and effort into their recommendation was an amazing opportunity that makes you proud as an ambassador.

What did you take away from your experiences? What did you learn?

After MMICC I think the main thing that most people take away from the experience is a global network that was created. You get a sense of how other countries and schools approach these strategic problems, but also improve your own cultural awareness, contributing to a well-rounded approach to not only business, but also life in general. Personally, MMICC allowed me to create relationships with people I otherwise would never have met, but also improved my ability to interact with a diverse group of people in a professional capacity.

Any last comments?

Being a member of MMICC in any way is an incredible experience, but being an ambassador allows you to get to know the participants on a more personal level. Cultivating the relationship you have with your team contributes to having an amazing week, and also helps your team perform to the best of their abilities because they know that you’re there to help them in any way you can.
